Iceland vs Croatia World Cup Prediction
Iceland and Croatia measure forces this Tuesday night in Rostov to count towards the last round of Group D.
Iceland secured their place in the World Cup by finishing first in Group I of the European Zone with 22 points, with 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
His goal metric tells us that he had 16 scored and 7 conceded, making an average of 2.3 goals per game.
Playing in their home were quite strong, making the full of victories, showing more weaknesses to play as a visitor.
With the passport in hand, Iceland held 8 home games, scoring 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses.
Croatia finished in 2nd place in Group I of the European Zone with 20 points, with 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. Since they did not win their group, the Croatian selection was forced to go to playoff to eliminate Greece.
In terms of goals scored with 15 scored and 4 conceded, presenting an average of 1.9 goals per game. His overall performance was positive and very similar, scoring regularly at home or out of doors.
Like your opponent. Once assured of their presence in the World Cup, the Croats played 4 preparation matches, registering 2 losses and 2 wins.
The Croatian team is already in the know and should make some changes here, promoting the entry of some important but less used players such as Kovacic, Brozovic and Kramaric.
I see then a Croatia with less virtuosity, less ability to surprise the opponent, but maintaining the same collective organization and consistency defensive.
The Croatians have yet to concede a goal at the World Cup, and it is not only their backs sector but also the whole team, as we have the strikers Mandzukic and Rebic as 2 of the 3 players who missed most in the competition so far .
Collectively Croatia is very strong and does not allow many chances of goal to the opponents.
Iceland need a win to dream of qualifying, but they will find a well-organized team capable of hurting themselves if they concede a lot of space.
Prediction Iceland vs Croatia:
I do not believe that the Icelanders will play all gas, but rather expect a somewhat warm game in the first 45 minutes, considering that Croatia are in a hurry and Iceland will not want to take a false step at the start of the game .
